Novel Approaches in Network Fault Management
Ankur Kumar Gupta, Purnendu Prabhat · INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NEXT-GENERATION COMPUTING · 2017
As computer networks increase in size and complexity, managing them to ensure 24x7 uptime while meeting increasingly stringent Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and customer expectations, become critical issues. Although Network Management solutions have progressed significantly in recent years, issues such as extreme scale, new network paradigms, protocols and increasingly heterogeneous networks make the task of efficient fault management non-trivial. This research paper identifies and reviews novel strategies, techniques and ideas, either in commercial solutions or in literature to alleviate some of these challenges in the network fault management domain. Some ideas of the future evolution of the domain are also presented.
